Re: simple question on twin paradox



Excuse me for replying to myself, but this is really addressed to all
in the thread:
(And Dirk, please excuse the repeats, but I'm trying to set up absolute
clarity in this line)

I have another question:

Still according to GR, if we look at a case where two triplets are
travelling from Earth to the star at 0.5c, and then one of them takes
the escape pod and decelerates to 0c, and remains there until the other
one is nearly at the star, and then accelerates again to 0.5c so that
both travelling twins are at rest wrt each other, is the one who went
0.5c the whole way the younger, or the one who was at 0c most of the
time?
